would a golden wonder killie eat otocinclus catfish?
i have five otos, and was thinking about getting a pair of GW killies...but i would not want to lose the otos! what's the general opinion?

Golden Wonders can reach 4-5" and while I don't think they would be able to eat full grown Otos, I would not keep them in a 15g tank. That's a little too small for them IMO.

argh conflicting information
 !another forum told me that a pair of GW killies in a 15 would be okay, as they are top dwellers and do well in small tanks :\

I had a few "golden-eared" killies in a 55. I thought they were mean, chasing everything and swimming quickly. One killed the other and then jumped out. I would say too big for a 15. Can you get a scientific name? Your conflicting opinions may be about different fish sharing a common name.

I agree with JustOneMore20. Aplocheilus lineatus get too big for a 15 gallon IMO and with 5 otos, you would be a little overstocked. Like emc7 said, I have also heard stories of them being a bit aggressive to tankmates.

Most killies are the meanest little suckers you ever saw.
